Ugly win against a Brescia without Balotelli today. Very lucky, probably undeserved too. Nonetheless, that 3 points helped us tentatively move up to 6th in the table, an unbelievable feeling which will soon go away, seeing that this round of Serie A still has ... nine! other games to play. 
Oh well. We can't and shouldn't worry about other games and should definitely just focus on our own. Tackling one game at a time, and this time we will welcome LORD back to San Siro. I am sure that LORD will get a heart-warming standing-ovation for just his mere presence in the Lion's den.
Back to the game, with all seriousness, Verona isn't a pushover. They have 26 points as of now, only 5 points off us but they are 2 games short, so potentially they are in a better position than we, so this game truly could come down to wire again. The first encounter, iirc, we scored an early penalty and Verona suffered an early red card, and yet we barely escaped with 3 points. This time around, I hope to see another positive performance unlike last one, or most of our stupid games where we were just outplayed and outcoached. If that's not possible, at least I want to see the fighting spirit in everyone, and I hope to see another packed stadium backing up this young team.
To make it difficult, Bennacer is suspended for this game. I don't know who can step up and take his role. Do we even have another player that plays there? Biglia is injured, I think. I am not really very confident in our coach. I don't believe that he will make the right choices. He has shown that again and again. Perhaps he just isn't capable. Maybe we will see Hakan starting from that deep playmaking position, considering the coach's undying love of the Turk.
Overall, I don't know what to expect of this game, also because there are still 9 days until then. Things can change easily and fast, and all I can hope is that we (the team) will be on the upward trend. And I understand that we have a Coppa QF against Torino before that, but I don't really care for it since we have no shot at it.
All I know is that I can't wait for another Milan game!
Forza Milan!
